Emmaljunga or Bebe Comfort Loola?

[Kalo]

Hi!
I was looking into the pushcars and I like these two. Does anybody have them? Is it a good purchase or I should go with cheaper one?

We have the bebe confort and love it!!! I have also worked in a nursery shop too so have tested most out, although we stopped stocking the emmaljunga years ago so can't really comment on it.

I have a loola, and loved it, then hated it, now I love it again. Things to bear in mind:

It's quite heavy.

It's actually not that compact when folded with the chair, despite what the ads claim.

It is nigh on impossible to get anything into the basket, but you can buy a bag that clips onto the handles which is a godsend.

The swivel wheels can get make getting in and out of dorrways/around chairs quite difficult (although you can lock the wheels).

I have heard reports of the brakes jamming because the wire can get trapped in the folding mechanism.

The clasp to keep it closed when folded, broke on mine after 6 months.

It's difficult/impossible to push with one hand

On the plus side, I like the fact baby can face in or out.

It's comfy and pretty easy to use.

I like the fact it's quite sturdy.

It's easy to clip in the car seat if you chose to get one.

I have an emmaljunga twin and would def recomend their prams. They are beautifully made, easy to push and really well padded and comfortable. They are heavy though, hard owrk to lift in and out of the boot.

Ive also got an emmaljunga twin (dd 21 months ds 7 months) it fab! I love it, babies are so comfy and I like the fact they are higher up than most standard prams (I've bought and tried 5 other prams!) also have the option of facing you or facing out, its fab, I dont have a car at the mo and everywhere is close by so I dont have the problem folding etc. Hope this helps

I have a loola and whilst I totally agree with most of what nav said about it I stil love mine dispite all these things.

I have a loola for sale if you are interested ... have been meaning to get it onto ebay but just havent had a chance. Let me know if you would like to see any photos.

Sorry to rain on the Loola parade but....... I work in nursery goods retail and have sold quite a few in my time only to see just about all of them back again with the same problems. Jammed on brake, broken brake pedal, collapsed 'X' brace (the bit above the basket), leaking rain hood, wobbly handles that refuse to lock into place. The list is endless.

All had to be sent back to the service centre (sometimes two or three at a time). They would come back with an engineers report which told us to remind the customer not to go so heavy on the brake pedal (or whatever) and a short lecture on how they had very generously waived the repair fee this time even though the buggy was out of its six month warranty period.

Bit of a shame really, Bèbè Confort used to be such a reliable brand.

On the other hand, Emmaljunga is an excellent brand. Completely different to a Loola in design, they are difficult to compare really. Nothing compact or lightweight about the Emmaljunga, but fantastic walking pram, a joy to push.

However there is a new swivel wheel model thats a bit more compact just out called the City Jet. Have a look at it on their website (sorry, can't do links).

Hope some of this helps.

I loved their new Emmaljunga City Jet, not many web sites are selling them yet. I wish they had baby carseat instead of the Pram. First months of the baby will be mostly in warmer months and it might be too hot for the baby.
I live in New York but I will be traveling to Moscow in November. I was hopping to get my Loola or Emmaljunga there and bring it over to US. My husband thinks I am crazy .

hi im looking to buy a loola does anyone have one for sale?

thanks: )

there is a pink one on the for sale board - I can recommend the seller.

I've got an Emmaljunga and I would say it's more of a walking buggy than a fold-up-and-put-it-in the car one. It's sturdy and very heavy and weighs over 11kg. It lasted well for my first baby (now nearly 3) and I did a LOT of walking. The wheels are starting to work a bit loose though and if they can't be mended we will have to get another one for no.2, hopefully something lighter that I can lift into the car.
